(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald Resumed)
The Chairman.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 99, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit No. 100 purports to be four pages, photocopy pages, of handwriting, in English.
Mrs. Oswald.
Lee's handwriting. But what it is, I don't know. I am sorry, but I don't know what it is
Mr. Rankin.
We offer in evidence Exhibit 100.
The Chairman.
It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 100, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin.
I wish to inform the Commission that this purports to be answers to questionnaires, and shows two formats, one showing that he is loyal to the country and another that he is not so loyal.
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit 101 is a photocopy of one page which is printed and handwritten in English.
Mrs. Oswald.
Lee's handwriting. But what it is, I don't know.
Mr. Rankin.
We offer in evidence Exhibit 101.
The Chairman.
It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 101, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin.
This purports to be a portion of the diary and relates to his meeting at the Embassy on October 31, 1959.
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit 102 is photocopies of two pages, handwritten, in English.
Mrs. Oswald.
Lee's handwriting. I don't know what it is.
Mr. Rankin.
We offer in evidence Exhibit 102.
The CHAIRMAN, It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 102, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin.
I wish to call the Commission's attention to the fact that Exhibit 102 purports to be a draft of memoranda, at least, for a speech.
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit 103 is two pages, two photocopy pages, of handwriting, in English.
Mrs. Oswald.
From the address I see that it is a letter--it is Lee's letter, but to whom, I don't know.
Mr. Rankin.
I offer in evidence Exhibit 103.
The Chairman.
It may be admitted under that number.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 103, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin.
I wish to call the attention of the Commission to the fact that Exhibit 103 is a purported draft of the letter that Lee Oswald sent to the Embassy, the Soviet Embassy, which you will recall referred to the fact that his wife was asked by the FBI to defect--had such language in the latter part of it. This draft shows that in this earlier draft he used different language, and decided upon the language that he finally sent in the exhibit that is in the record earlier. The comparison is most illuminating.
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit 104 is photocopy pages of a small notebook.
Mrs. Oswald.
This is my notebook, various addresses--when I was at the rest home, I simply noted down the addresses of some acquaintances.
Mr. Dulles.
Is this in Russia, or the United States?
Mrs. Oswald.
In Russia.
Mr. Rankin.
We offer in evidence Exhibit 104.
The Chairman.
It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 104, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit 105 is a notebook----
Mr. Rankin.
Exhibit 104 purports to be a small notebook of Mrs. Oswald.
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit 105 is the original of a notebook containing various writings in English and in Russian
Mrs. Oswald.
This is when Lee was getting ready to go to Russia, and he made a list of the things that he wanted to buy and take with him.
Further, I don't know what he had written in there.
